Southwest Resources to Test Production Enhancement Technology

DALLAS, April 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Southwest Resources, Inc. (Pink Sheets: SWRS) (the "Company"), a natural resources exploration, production, and mining company, today announced that it has reached an agreement in principle to form a joint venture arrangement with QortechOil, Inc.  Under the terms of the arrangement, QortechOil has provided and installed cutting edge technology on one of the Company's mineral leases in Creek County, Oklahoma to test the technology for enhanced oil production from existing wells.

QortechOil and Southwest Resources will evaluate the results of the testing over the next 30 days.  The technology is unique in that it causes an electromagnetic variance in polarity to influence the fluids.  Should the test return the expected result of increased oil production, the Company intends to expand the joint venture relationship to multiple leases in other locations.
